Organizing Your Life

Myths About Organization Myth: Organizing is the same as being neat. Fact: Organizing is not about how a space looks, but how it functions

Myths About Organization Myth: Organizing is a talent you’re either born with or not. Fact: Organizing is a learnable skill.

Myths About Organization Myth: Organizing is about throwing things away. Fact: You can keep everything you want and still get organized.

Symptoms of a Disorganized Person You never put things back in the same place twice You have new things that you do not have a place for You have too many things to do and not enough time

The Cost of Disorganization If you plan on storing items, for a basic 10 foot by 20 foot storage unit you'll pay approximately $60 a month. This doesn't seem like much, but it works out to $720 a year, and if you rent a space at this rate for 3 years, you'll spend a grand total of $2,160. Most people don't think about the total cost of long-term storage, and when they really stop to consider what they've spent after renting a storage unit, they realize they could have purchased new items with the money wasted on storing the old ones.

The #1 Rule of Organization “A place for everything and everything in its place.”

The #2 Rule of Organization “Out of sight, out of mind.” I don’t have to worry anymore about all of that junk in my closet. It is now at the Salvation Army I can’t remember where I put that sweater. I guess I’ll just have to buy a new one. Organized Disorganized

The #3 Rule of Organization “Travel light”

The #4 Rule of Organization “If you don’t use it, lose it!”

The #5 Something In – Something Out “If you bring something new into a full space, something must go.” Something In Something Out

Quick Sort Pull everything out of your closet. Sort everything from your closet into 4 piles. If you haven’t worn or used it in a year, it goes in the TRASH or DONATE pile. KEEP MOVE TRASH DONATE

Remove 2 Piles From Your Room Remove the trash Bag up the items you wish to donate. Get them out of your room. TRASH DONATE

Keep Pile Focus only on the KEEP pile. Set the MOVE pile outside your room for now. KEEP

Sort Sort the only pile left into themes Theme Ideas: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer Dress clothes, casual clothes, slacks, dresses, etc. Colors

Hang Hangers Backwards Hang hangers backwards after sorting, then hang clothes up normally to see which clothes you actually wear. Then after 6 months or a year, you can see which clothes you have not worn. Get rid of those clothes.

Dealing with Dirty Clothes Place 2-3 laundry baskets in your closet. Sort as you remove your clothing. Do laundry one basket at a time as they fill up. Whites Colored Delicates

Set Out Clothes the Night Before

Find a Place For Other Items Sort the MOVE pile. Find a specific and logical place for each item. For example, a toaster does not belong in your closet.

Purchase Clear Storage Boxes

Still Not Enough Space?

What if I might need it later? If you really can't throw things out, put the items in a box with a destroy date written onto it—generally about six months from now. If you find yourself needing to go into it to find something, put it with the items to keep. Anything left in the box at the end of the time should be thrown out or donated.

File Purchase hanging files. Label folders to match your piles. Bonus Tip: Transfer your notes from your AVID binder into file folders after each test. Go through your files 2 times per year. MLA Phone #s Biology Receipts Essays
